Welcome to the Green Tara Trust site

4,500 Nepali women continue to die each year in childbirth due to lack of medical care. 4.8% of babies die before they are a year old from hypothermia, infectious diseases and lack of food. In this patriarchal society, women and girls do not get enough food or medical care because of their gender. Green Tara Trust is working to change this.

We provide care in pregnancy and childbirth for 10,000 people in rural Nepal. We work to empower communities to take responsibility for their own care and facilitate dialogue between pregnant women and their oppressors.

For 10 years the Green Tara Trust has been working at a local level to improve lives, and at a national level with policy makers to improve sexual and reproductive health care for people all over Nepal.
